Overview

The ideal book for leading Muslims to Christ

With over 100,000 copies in print, and translated into eleven languages, Glad News! has helped bring hundreds (if not thousands) of Muslims to Christ.  

Answering Muslims’ biggest questions about Christianity, Glad News! shares Jesus and His teachings with Muslims in the clearest and most attractive, convincing ways, all without compromise. It also equips Christians to understand the common sticking points that Muslims have about Christianity so they can share Jesus more effectively.

Muslim readers of Glad News! will:

• Encounter the beauty and legitimacy of the Christian faith
• Receive answers to their most burning questions
• Grapple with evidence that proves Jesus is more than a prophet
• Know all that they need to for believing in Jesus as their Lord and Savior

The gap between Muslims and Christians is wide, as are the many cultural gaps that may exist between them. Glad News! will bridge those gaps, giving Christians insight into Muslim convictions and language for dialoguing about matters of faith and belief.
